recurrent CTD's

[Faridus]

i've been having repeated CTD's at a very particular point in my game.
i was kinda lucky to save the game prior to hitting the turn button, so each time it CTD'd i restarted and it keeps crashing at the same place.
i think the year is 246, i was besieging syracuse, there was 1 turn left before the city falls, then the carthaginains sally to brake the siege. when i tried to play the battle, it crashes, but the auto resolve worked fine and didn't crash.
i have the save file just before the new turn and the battle.
is anyone interested to figure out what's going on? if so, how do i make the save file available?

Have you made any personal edits to the game?

Where there any units in the battle (on either side) you had never seen before?

hi marcus,
no i haven't edited anything myself.
i have a clean version of EB.
i didn't get the chance to fight the battle as it crashes before it starts. so i don't know if there are any units.
but like i said, i'm still playing the campaign, i was able to keep going by chosing the auto resolve option.

Well, if you got past it and it never happened again, we can just hope it was a one time thing.

Crashes that happen when you are loading a battle often are caused by a unit that isn't quite set up 100% correctly. These units will cause a crash every time you try to load a battle with them involved. Though, there shouldn't be any of these guys in v1.0...

hi, i have suffered a lot of ctds when siegeing(spelling?) cities, i just save before each battle, and i found that many of the ctds where caused by some type of unit. what i have done was to change my army before attacking ( save first before you attack)... i just added some mercenary or changed my army a little bit and then the ctd dissapeared...i have suffered a lot of them but with this method i passed them, thay always happen when winning the battles, the menu tries to charge tha bar but i end up on my desktop.
